Arsenal Captain Cesc Fabregas wary of Wolves
Young Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas warned his team that if they lost to Wolves tonight then his side should forget about the title this season. Fabregas said that another slip up against the Wolves in their upcoming fixture could cost them important points
and eventually the title.
Arsene Wenger’s young Gunners seem to be in good form and have received a boost with the return of several first team members. However, they lost to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League and Newcastle United in the Premier League and will be looking to
bounce back from that.
The pressure is on Fabregas and his men to win after back to back losses, which have been very demoralizing for the team. He said it was important to win against resurgent Wolves, to gain back the confidence that would return them to winning ways.
Fabregas told reporters, “These are the games that can win or lose you titles. Because it's not just about beating the big teams in the big games - it's about winning these matches also. The Newcastle defeat was a really bad result... another one of
those games where we have struggled”.
He added, “And we all said after we'd lost at home to West Brom that we couldn't afford any more setbacks like that - and yet we did it again! We have to realize one more mistake like that and it could all be finished. We are lucky Chelsea lost at Liverpool
so we didn't lose any ground on the leaders”.
He was pleased with the fact that Chelsea, the League leaders had lost over the weekend, but was aware of the fact that Manchester United and Manchester City had both registered wins. He said that Arsenal needed to step up their game to catch up with them.
The Spanish midfielder said that he was aware that Wolves would provide a tough challenge for the Gunners and that they should be prepared for that. He said,
“We know Wolves are a very good team and although we won there 4-1 last year it was still a very difficult game”.
He continued, “So now we have to go to Wolves and that will be very difficult. We have to go there and be strong, show our character and play our football. Because we now can't afford to lose against Wolves if we want to win the Premier League”.
